May 16, 2007 · Drag the two apart and then back together. If they have the same height and are of the same style - they will join and merge into one wall object. If they have different heights - they will just join geometry. wrote in message news:5588184@discussion.autodesk.com... Well, obviously joining two items is easy. But I didn't ask about that.

Problem
Excessive amount of warnings will increase open and save times. At some point, the file will become corrupt.
Tips
1. To streamline the process of resolving warnings, set keyboard shortcuts for Review Warnings (RW) and Select by ID (RE) commands. Export the warnings to HTML file for easy copy and paste of the element IDs.
Solution
Resolving warnings should be a team effort. Make time to resolve warnings, even if for just an hour each week. Know how and why warnings happen so you can avoid creating them if possible. Follow these steps: 1. Select Manage > Open Warnings Dialog 2. Export warnings to HTML file 3. Open HTML warnings report 4. Choose a warning to resolve. Double click the element ID number to select, then copy to clipboard. 5. In Revit, click on the select by ID command (Manage tab > Inquiry panel). 6. Paste...
Problem
Updating the view range will impact the overall plan, and in most cases will cause another problem in a different area of the plan.
Tips
1. This is usually a problem when attempting to view objects at a different height other than the cut plane that is used for the rest of the view, such as the furniture located at the bottom/top level of a tiered auditorium. 2. It is important to understand view range extents.
Solution
If a specific portion of the plan is deeper than the rest of the floor but needs to be seen properly on the drawings, try to keep the default view range settings and use a Plan Region in the area of the view where the view range needs to be changed.
Problem
Moving the 3D extents of grids in plans or sections can cause those grids to not show up in other views. Grids are considered datum elements in Revit, along with Levels and Reference Planes. They are essentially planes slicing through the model. They have 2D extents which can be changed per view. The 3D extents are absolute and should be set at the beginning of the project, and usually not moved again.
Tips
1. When the grid is selected, it displays 3D extents with '3D' near the grid endpoint which is a hollow blue dot. If the grid is set to 2D it will display '2D' near the grid endpoint with a smaller solid blue dot. 1. Use scope boxes to control extents, levels, and reference planes.
Solution
If the 3D extents have been moved incorrectly, set them so they are showing in the necessary views. Toggle to 2D extents if you want to change it for a certain view. When moving a column grid bubble in a plan, section or elevation, switch to 2D extents prior to moving the bubble. The 2D extents controls the visual display of the line itself in that view only. Moving the column grid bubble while in 3D extents will update the location of that bubble throughout the entire project.
Problem
Moving the entire elevation tag (circle and triangle) also moves the cut plane for the elevation, causing the view to display incorrectly.
Solution
Just select the circle ONLY and move it. The triangle will come with it but your original elevation cut plane stays intact.
Problem
Multiple instances of the same family get placed in an area because a view setting was causing the family not to display, and the user kept clicking in the hopes that it would eventually display after many attempts.
Tips
1. When you see this box, stop clicking.
Solution
First, stop clicking. Second, investigate why this element is not showing in the view. Check your active workset and confirm that workset is open in your Revitfile. Confirm that workset is visible in the view you are working in by checking Visibility/Graphics. Then check the category of the element you are trying to place. If you were trying to place a Casework family, check Visibility/Graphics to see if the Casework category is turned on.
Problem
There are times you have a specific line or element embedded in a family that you do not want to see in your Revitview. Your first thought may be to just delete that line or element but that could potentially cause an issue later down the line. Maybe you delete important clearance annotation, a reference plane or even a part of the family that will not be missing in a rendering.
Tips
1. It is sometimes difficult to perceive what you will and will not see once you bring the family into the Revitfile. The Preview Visibility Tool within the family will give you the opportunity to see what you will see in the Revit file.
Solution
You can use the Linework tool within your Revitfile that overrides the line style for a selected line in an active view only. You can update the visible settings within the family, which could make the line/element visible or not throughout the entire Revit project. You can update the visibility/graphics overrides within the family, which can control the visibility of the line/element depending on the detail level of the view for symbolic elements. With modeled elements, you can control the v...

Oct 8, 2023 · The most common cause of this is not duplicating the Appearance Asset as well. If both the original material, and duplicated material use the same Appearance Asset, any changes made to that Asset in the duplicated material will also show up in the original.
